Media Fill Simulation Test for Sterile Compounding
This lesson provides comprehensive training on performing a media fill simulation test—an essential qualification for personnel involved in sterile compounding. Learn how to prepare growth media, simulate aseptic compounding procedures, incubate and inspect units, and document results. The training supports USP <797> and FDA cGMP compliance to ensure aseptic technique competency and protect patient safety.
By the end of this lesson, learners will be able to:
- Explain the purpose of a media fill simulation and how it validates aseptic compounding technique.
- Identify regulatory requirements for media fill testing under USP <797> and FDA guidance.
- Select appropriate media, containers, and environments for performing a simulation.
- Properly execute a media fill simulation test using sterile technique.
- Interpret results and determine if contamination or growth invalidates the process.
- Respond to a failed media fill test through investigation, retraining, and documentation.
- Document and retain records of the test for compliance with USP <797> and state board of pharmacy standards.
